pwhash, password hashing in java

As promised, here is the code to a Java implementation of the principles of password hashing that I outlined in my previous post. I'll put it on a proper project page later on, but for now the full distribution can be downladed as pwhash-0.9.zip, the binary jar can be found as pwhash-0.9.jar and the source code with documentation can be found at PasswordHasher.java.

Included in the distribution is also a Base64 implementation, Base64.java, that I wrote. The fact that Sun hasn't included it in Java from version from the very beginning is a mystery to me. My implementation might not be the fastest or the most robust one around but it is quite readable and preforms okay.
